Thanks everybody for the support! I hope you like the story so far even if i'm not that great of a writer. Anyways have a good reading:
He was standing there serious and elegant but I saw a veil of shock cross his eyes as he saw me. He seemed like he quickly recovered of his feelings because he quickly shook his head and gave off a gentle smile.
He gave me a hand to shake.
-"Hello my name is Jack Frost. It's nice to meet you".
His words froze me to the ground. Was he amnesic or just an asshole?
A small feeling of pain shot me right in the chest. Was our night this horrible so he'd just act like he didn't know me? Was I this bad as a woman?
Even with my blood rushing through my veins because of the emergence of those memories I felt an anxious feeling growing inside my chest. What if he finds out? Do I really want to drag him inside of this problem with me? I think it's enough that one person's life will be given away to take care of this child. In any case he mustn't know. It was better like that.
-"The pleasure is mine", I answered, smiling and playing along with his act. His eyes widened a bit in surprise and he kept gazing at me with his mysterious eyes. I averted my eyes from him feeling that if I'd look at him just few more seconds I'll fall to my knees and start worshiping him.
-"How about we start sitting at the table, dinner's almost ready", said Anna with a smiling face before walking away in the dining room followed by most of the guests.
I watched her as she walked away.
-"So Elsa how are you doing with your ice-skating training?", asked Kristoff with interest as I turned my head back towards them.
-"Fine but the next season is arriving soon and the new figures are a bit more challenging…", I said leaving the rest of my answer hanging as I felt a big lump in my throat forming itself, making it hard to breath.
-"You're from the Snow Queen team, the one who's going to participate to the 4th season tournament? ", asked Jack with his deep voice before diverting the conversation towards Kristoff, "Wasn't Flynn suppose to manage this dumb tournament?"
My eyes widened in shock. Did he know just how much people trained for this tournament? I've been practicing 10 years just to get there and he just called it dumb? I can't believe this guy!
-"Yeah I think he did mention it last Saturday", replied Kristoff as he gazed at me with sorry eyes, telling me not to take the matter further. I glared at him but then rolled my eyes as an accepting sign.
-"I pity him. He'd be better off doing something more useful than this", sighed Jack as he gazed at the people around us.
Right there my blood went cold and my anger blazed out.
-"Oh really? What more useful things could he'd be doing? Stuffing his face with food? Showing off his money to people with financial problems? Or like you're just doing, criticize people of good will as he's been born heir of a wealthy family and has nothing more to do than sitting on his golden thrown expecting his every desire to be fulfilled and hooking up with every girl he just meets?".
I didn't wait for a reply and turned around, walking the farthest away from him as I felt my cheeks burn up in anger.
I ended up in the kitchen. I guess because it wasn't as crowded as in the saloon and that I had a need to cry my eyes.
I found Anna chopping some vegetables on a breadboard before plunging them into the soup heating on the stove.
-"Here I'll help you", I said snatching the knife out of her hands before starting to cut the vegetables.
-"Oh thanks!", said Anna before turning towards the oven to turn it on, " I'm doing a vegetable soup for the starters, pork tenderloin with sauteed potatoes for the main course and Creme brûlée and chocolate pudding for the desert".
She said to me but it looked more as if she was talking to herself.
-"Sounds good", I said with a smile. Suddenly a sweet smell swam under my nose making me breath in. I gazed at what was cooking on the stove before turned my gazed towards Anna and saw we had the same word in mind.
-"Chocolate!", we cried out together before giggling at the same time. This smell brought back so many memories.
-"Wow smells really good", said Kristoff as he walked inside the kitchen but stopped just a bit further from the door. Anna walked towards him and they hugged for a long time. I heard them whispering at each other's ears and giggling. I didn't want to disturb them so I continued chopping the veggies as if nothing was going on.
-"Elsa when you're done with the vegetables could you put them in the soup please and let it cook?", asked Anna and left as soon as I nod my head.
I stayed in the kitchen chopping the veggies and plunging them into the soup and cleaned a bit around to make it look appropriate and not dirty.
-"I want chocolate", cried out a voice behind me and before I could even turn around I already knew who was standing behind me.
-"Get lost Jonathan. The chocolate is for desert", I snapped at him not giving him a single glance and continued wiping the kitchen table.
-"You're so bold why can't you just give me some or is the size of your brain too small to manage a task as small as that?", he replied making me angrier than I already was.
-"First of all you don't say 'Give me', you say please and secon-". I had just the time to turn my head towards him that I saw Jonathan grip the handle of the pot, where the chocolate was boiling, and pulled it out of the stove. The pot fell on the floor and the chocolate splashed all over the place making the kitchen look like a piggery.
-"Jonathan you little brat, If I ever catch you you'll be sorry!", I cried out as he ran out of the room laughing wickedly. Argh that kid is going to drive me crazy.
I knelt down next to the pool of chocolate and started wiping it out.
-"Need any help?", asked a deep voice and suddenly my head snapped towards the doorway. My Greek god who somehow turned into an asshole was standing there leaning against the door.
-"Why would you care, Isn't that the exact situation you usually find yourself into? You watch while others do the work", I said smiling sarcastically before getting back to my task of cleaning Mr. Brat's work of art.
I heard him chuckle amused.
-"You would be so surprised about the amount of work I actually do", he said with a casual voice but I could imagine a smirk on his face mocking me in every way.
-"It's true that fucking different woman every night must be tiring", I mocked him and chuckled bitterly, "they must all have some sort of fantasy that you feel the need of satisfying".
I heard footsteps approach me and my heart beat quickened. Have I angered him?
He knelt in front of me on the other side of the choco pond and placed his mouth next to my ear.
-"Have you not been?", he replied, grabbing my hand and licking the drop of chocolate that was sliding down my hand.
He got up and left the room. My jaw dropped more than it was suppose to be.
-"You wish!", I suddenly shouted feeling my cheeks heat up. That asshole is mocking me and I can't take people who make fun of me!
-"Hey Aunty Elsa I made a drawing to say sorry", screamed Jonathan as he ran down the stairs before stepping inside the kitchen holding a folded paper in his hand.
-"That's more I like it! If you continue doing things like that I might end up liking you", I said grabbing the piece of paper he was handing me.
I unfolded it and in my deepest agony I saw a picture of a weird looking dumpling with platinum hair, who I suppose must be representing me, kissing a big potato with silver hair, who I suppose was representing that asshole.
I glared at Jonathan who was sticking his index and thumb together and acted like if they were kissing while making this weird noise of kissing with his mouth.
-"Fucking little brat", I cried out as I stood up and started chasing him but I didn't get further than the door. Jonathan kept running up the stairs. I really wish I could literally show this paper up his ass.
-"Elsa!", cried out Anna. I turned my head and saw her running down the corridor towards me, "I've been looking for you. Come on you're missing the entry".
She grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the dining room.
